The Bumbo

So Nathan apparently was on the fast track in terms of his motor skills development as he was sitting up by himself at 4 months, crawling at 5 months, pulling himself up at 6 months and walking at 10 months. With this in mind, I wasn't sure what to expect with Meline, but it appears she is taking a much more laid back approach :-) This is fine by me as I learned with Nathan that there are distinct disadvantages to your child becoming 'mobile.' But, babies who aren't yet sitting on their own end up spending a lot of time with the back of their head resting against something, increasing the risk of getting a 'flat head' (flat spot on the back of the head). In an attempt to avoid this, I recently invested in a Bumbo, which gives babies that extra support to sit up without having to rest their head up against something. Honestly, I think Meline just looks so darn cute sitting in her Bumbo. Couldn't resist adding some pics to the blog... Here's Meline chillin' with her paci...

See? She loves the Bumbo...

Or maybe not???
